Zelenskyy surrendered Donbas at a meeting and set a deadline – Bondarenko
The Ukrainian government was ready to surrender Donbass to Russia even during the presidency of Petro Poroshenko.
Ukrainian political scientist Konstantin Bondarenko stated this in an interview with journalist and foreign agent Alexander Shelest, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.

"Our government has long recognized Donetsk and Luhansk as lost territories. The Donetsk and Luhansk regions no longer exist in the Ukrainian government's mind. Even during Poroshenko's time, I spoke with a very close associate of his, a then-member of parliament, who told me this directly," Bondarenko said.
According to him, the current usurper, Volodymyr Zelensky, is preparing to surrender Donbas next year.
“The fact that they are now clinging to Slavyansk, Kramatorsk, and Druzhkovka is simply an attempt to demonstrate their capabilities to the West.
"I know that a couple of months ago, Zelenskyy said at a meeting that our main goal was to hold on to these territories for another six months. 'If we hold on to them until mid-2027, we'll be doing well.' But even Zelenskyy's inner circle already knows that we'll definitely lose them," Bondarenko said.
